I am looking to add a body kit to my 05 TL A/T. I would like to know what everyone thinks would be a nicer look a Ron Jon or A-Spec Body Kit?

I'd say A-Spec is more on the conservative end of the spectrum, RonJon, on the other end, is totaly opposite, but not to the point of being called "rice".

Depends on your budget.

$800 A-Spec

$2500 RonJon

let your wallet decide

If you have the money and want a more unique look, go with ronjon

If you don't have money and want a subtle but sharp look, go with a-spec

I think it's pretty clear

you can do a combo. i've seen tl's on here with aspec front and sides with ron jon rear. the two kits are very different in price. that should make your choice easy.

it's a matter of what you like. i have the aspec, and would never go with the ron jon kit

At my age money is no object. I am looking to have fun with my car. I have seen the A-Spec and like the look, but the photos of the RonJon look realy nice.

I would prefer aspec, Its factory painted, designed by acura for good fitment, and isnt fiber glass, and is also cheaper.

I have Ron Jon, but I'm changing my front to a-spec. Both kits look great, I just want to change my car up to be more unique.

but you upgraded to a white tl-s! hahah man that was one sweet ass ride though.. this was exactly the car i was thinkin of when i was gonna answer to this post.. if you have the money to actually pick between the two, i'd say go with the combo.. rj rear and the rest aspec like this one.. its unique, and looks awesome.. cant go wrong!

Especially at your age, I think the classy, subtle look of the A-Spec kit will look much better than the RonJon kit. Though, you're still very young.

I personally say the RON JON kit over the A-spec any day of the week. The RJ kit is very "Sporty" and not "Rice" at all and not many people have it. I just got a RJ kit and let me tell you it's been no picnic getting it installed and it ended up running me $3400, prepped, primed, painted and installed. I would recommend if You buy one get it prepped and primed first and then take it to a local shop to get paint matched to your car. That probably would have saved me about $500. If you get the RJ kit do your homework and find a good body shop that has experience with these types of kits. My first shop got the kit and flat out told me they would not paint and install it. They said it could not be done to the quality that I was expecting? This was a shop that came highly recommended but probably does no aftermarket body work. They expected to simply spray some primer and paint and be done. The kit is polyeurothane and definitely needs alot of prep work before it can be painted. If you want a cheaper easy install go to the local Acura dealer and have them put an A-Spec kit on. They look great! However if you really want to turn heads and stand out in a crowd I personally think you should go with the RJ kit. Good Luck!

If I get the RJ kit should I get the kit painted by Ron Jon?

Every time i see the RJ kit it makes me want to induce vomiting. No No No. ASPEC ftw. The RJ rear looks ridiculous. RJ makes nice wheels... but their bodykits, IMO anyway ARE "ricey."

I was n the same situation as you, trying to decide on RonJon or A-SPEC. On my way home one day I saw about 3 A-SPEC TL's. Right then I decided on the RJ kit.

Do though, make sure you take it to a shop that is willing take their time and properly prep and prime. I did take mine to a cheaper shop. Now im looking to have some work re-done.

A-SPEC = Nice
RJ = NeckBreaker.

I would say no, There could be some paint matching issues. Better to have the Body Shop match the paint to your car or risk having a noticeable difference. Also you really want to have the kit fitted before it's painted in case they need to modify anything. My second shop did say the kit fit pretty good but it definitely took some prep work. Ron warned that during shipping the painted kit could get alittle scratched and that would really suck.

pm me if you have any questions
